I didn't keep track of all the steps but order paperwork done at dealer on 9/4 for a 2021 X5 xdrive 40i M-Sport

Dealer ordered on 9/8 - delay due to labor day (received VIN and Production #)
Production queue status on 9/9
Dispatched from factory on 9/21
In transit on 9/23
At dealership on 9/24 (Boston area)
Picking up tomorrow 9/25

On 9/4 when I did the paperwork dealer said 4-6 weeks so I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived early.

I'm in the US, so I went to bmwusa.com, then MyBMW, then either login if you have a login or create one. Once in, go to My Garage and click Add a Vehicle. Add the VIN and viola, you can start tracking your build.

once the car starts production you should see it at your dealership 4-6 weeks

you can call 1 (800) 831-1117 anytime and they are very good to give you up to date info on status

WHAT! No way delivery takes 4 months to Bella Sicilia!! Would it be quicker, taking in account the drive/ferry across the Straits of Messina, to take delivery at BMW World, aka The Welt?

I thought us stateside that had a ED drop off in Europe then waiting to be transported to port and assigned a ship across the Atlantic was a long time.

PS I'm Sicilian.

At what point in this process is a VIN assigned? My order went in Oct 2 and dealer said production is expected early November build. When can I expect a VIN#?

Your build week is directly tied to your allocation week. What week were you allocated? If everything goes smoothly you should receive your vin 1 week before the build week. I was allocated week 41 and received my vin on week 40.
Keep in mind it doesn't matter when you ordered the car. What's important is your allocation week.
